IceQ– Cooler, Quieter

Crossfire AdvantageIceQ ensures effective cooling when there is another card in front blocking the fan inlet, such as in CrossFire setup.

By expelling the hot air, IceQ removes all the heat generated by the GPU out of the computer chassis, prevents the hot air from accumulating inside and enhancing the overall stability. The more crowded the chassis, the greater will be the impact.

The demonstration shows that the IceQ does outperform the 3rd party cooler in closed environment. Cool air is drawn from both sides of the fan and hot air is forced out of the computer case. This ensures effective cooling when there is another card in front blocking the fan inlet, such as in CrossFire setup.

Black Hole ImpellerBlack hole impeller ensures large amount of cool air is ready. It draws cool air from both sides of the fan even there is another card blocking the fan inlet on the front side of fan.

CoolerThe card is cooler than reference cooler.

QuieterIceQ is one of the quietest coolers. The card is below 28dB when watching movies, surfing Facebook, working. The card remains quiet whether you are gaming, online socializing or entertaining.

Fan DesignThe super large 57mm single blower fan draws massive amount of cool air to cool the GPU directly.

The card also features fan control and fan monitoring, you are able to read fan speed & Asic temperature from CCC or software.

When i recieved this GPU and when i opened the box it was wow this is a pretty big graphics card and looked really cool and i like the black color to go along with the inside of my pc case which is also black, and it was an easy install to do. I think HIS has made a awesome graphics card and has been well constructed for years of performance and for half the cost of a nvidia graphics card in the same range and will perform as good or even better.

Pros
Every game i tested like Dishonored, Metal of Honor Warefare, Borderland 2 and Mass effect 3 etc all at max settings and the temperature never exceeded over 50c on all the games and the fan speed never exceeded over 35 - 37% and was very quiet during all the gameplay being done on these games and was a treat to play these games with so little noise from the fan.

The framerates on all these games were around 60 fps except Metal of Honor Warefare which was from 47- 50 fps which is still very good for that game.

Cons
None as this HIS HD Radeon 7850 IceQ Turbo has performed very well and gave me a 7.9 score on graphics and gaming graphics in the Windows Experience Index which i could not even achieve with 2 Turbo 6870 GPUs in CrossFireX mode as i only got a score of 7.8 which is still good, but getting a 7.9 score with this singe GPU was a treat and i am very happy with it and would recommend this graphics card to everybody for everyday use or if you are a hardcore gamer

This graphic card performs great in BF3 in “ultra” (highest graphic setting). I tried ARMA2 and there I had to go for “high” (second highest graphic setting).

The card is very silent and comes with a “one click” overclocking feature which works perfectly. You can monitor the temperature of the card and decide your own overclock setting if you prefer.

If you have a transparent computer case the card looks awesome with the metal heat pipes!

Inexpensive upgrade from previous generations.

This card is great. I purchased an HIS HD6950 nearly two years ago and it was a great card. At the time it was nearly as good as nVidia's competing products, but half the price. The biggest problem I had was the 1GB VRam limitation. For Skyrim, GTA IV, and Shogun 2, I turned off shadows to fix the performance issue.

As the next generation of games are coming out, I knew it was time to upgrade my card. The IceQ 7850 fit the price point and specs well. Double the VRAM and a great all around clock speed bump sounded like a great idea.

Pros:
This card runs so much quieter than my old 6950, I thought something was wrong with my computer when I booted it up after installing the new IceQ 7850, lol.

Overall temperature difference. My old card would creep up to ~60c (~140F) and the fans would be screaming at 100%. This card hits ~40c (105F) after long hours of fighting dragons in Skyrim (with 30+ mods to make it look so much better) or mowing down the enemies of the shogunate in Shogun 2 Total War.

Shadows! I can actually keep shadows on in games now. I've set every setting in every game to max and I haven't noticed any slowdowns as of yet.

The packaging was superb. I generally don't comment on the condition of the package, I know UPS/USPS/FedEx really abuse boxes, but this box was beat up pretty bad by the delivery company. The card itself is encased in several inches of foam inside the box, so don't worry about rough shipping!

Cons:
None... It's quiet , performs great, and was as easy as possible to install.

Overall - 10/10.

HIS has won over 1700 awards with AMD graphic solution from major media worldwide.

“With a price under the 200€ this graphic card is really interesting. It is a performance product (mid-range product) for AMD but with the quality of this model it can fight the HD7870 or 660Ti from NVIDIA. The silence – due to the IceQ – is a real plus essentially for the temperature of the GPU allowing some good overclocking to increase performances without spending money. So, all actual games can be played with some tweaking on the settings. To conclude, this HIS card offer a good performance/price ratio and we recommend it !”

"The card has remained quite cool after more than 42 mintes of Heaven 4.0 at the 2560x1440 with all filters applied (58 degrees Celsius). The fan did only raise at about 43%, while preserving low noise levels. We found interesting is when the fan has reached a rotation speed of about 3000RPM, a vibration is induced into the whole assembly making the card a little bit noisier than when it runs with about 3200RPM. We have seen a similar behavior with a Palit card in the past but the card should reach this fan speed only when the surrounded area is not properly cooled. The cooling system is also to be appreciated because it removes the hot air that travels through the fins directly outside the case and does not permit hot air recirculation."

「它不仅拥有很强的3D性能，而且还具备很好的散热性能…而在噪音、功能耗等测试中，它也具备较好的表现，是一款综合性能较强、面面俱到的王者。」 《微型计算机》 - 编辑选择"It not only has a strong 3D performance, but also a good heat dissipation...for noise, functionality consumption, etc., it also has better and stronger overall performance." MicroComputer - Editor's Choice

「这是一款极具特点的产品，它最大的亮点在于具备HIS独家的"黑洞抽风"散热技术，是显卡全面散热的典范设计…很多玩家都难免动心想将其收入囊中。」 《微型计算机》 - 年度风云产品"It is very characteristic, the biggest spot of it is HIS exclusive "Black Hole Impeller" cooling technology, which is an excellent design for perfect cooling of the card...a lot of game-players will absolutely want this card." MicroComputer - Product of the Year

"Power draw was fantastic as well...At maximum load, the whole system used only 186 W. At idle, the Zero Core technology helped kick that number down to just 53W. Both of these tests act as testimonies to the amazingly power efficient Pitcairn Pro GPUs...Just because the GPU sips power doesn’t mean HIS skimped on cooling. In fact, the new IceQ cooler comes attached is nothing short of a beast. Its quad heatpipes and large vortex fan helped the GPU sit at a chilly 23°C on idle, and just 53°C under maximum load. Noise wasn’t an issue at all either as the fan managed to keep itself to a low hum even under full load overclocked...Overall though, you can’t really go wrong with the HIS Radeon HD 7850 IceQ Turbo 2GB. Highly recommended!" Custom PC Review - Awesome Award "Gold"

"It comes as no surprise to us that HIS has put together a strong video card here. The IceQ series has always been strong and this iteration is no different with the IceQ cooler doing its job perfectly. You can see even with the core bumped up to 1000MHz, we manage to still see very strong numbers in both the temperature area while this isn't coming at the cost of noise." TweakTown - Editor's Choice Award

"Overall I feel we have a solid card on our hands. Superior and quieter cooling over reference, a hefty overclock out of the box, and better power bits. As we listed above, pricing at Newegg.com for this model is $229.99. That price point puts it towards the top of all available HD 7850′s, but $40 below the highest priced model (Asus DCUII v2 @ $269.99 – now has free Far Cry 3). I have to admit I wish the price would be a bit lower as you can find models with aftermarket coolers for less that can produce a lot of the results this card can.

Again, HIS has put a solid offering out in the mid-range segment with this IceQ Turbo HD 7850. Even though the price is higher than other models, with the cooler and better power parts than most models, it should be a consideration in the crowded mid range segment. This card is Overclockers.com approved!" Overclockers.com - Approved

"The HIS 7850 IceQ Turbo is a big card in several regards, not only in physical size but particularly in gaming value. It’s an excellent product, and with an innovative and class-leading accessory audio bundle, this one’s a winner, both as a single card and in CrossFire." PureOverclock - Great Value
